Tottenham Hotspur 3 Manchester City 1: match report

21 April 2013 02:20

Tottenham's
Champions League hopes received a huge shot in the arm after they staged a
stunning comeback which left Manchester
City on the brink of relinquishing their Premier
League crown.
Former Arsenal man Samir Nasri looked as if he was going to inflict another
damaging defeat on Andre Villas-Boas' men when he put City ahead in the
first half.
Despite the return of Gareth Bale, Spurs struggled to get in to the game. They
lacked cohesion and spirit for most of the game, but they scored three goals
in eight minutes to claim a famous victory which means Manchester United
will win the title tomorrow night if they beat strugglers Aston Villa at
home.
Clint Dempsey equalised for Spurs before Jermain Defoe marked his return with
a goal and Bale rounded off the win with his 23rd goal of the season in the
82nd minute.
Roberto Mancini will find the trip back up to Lancashire tonight difficult
given that his team dominated the majority of the game.
